The local shops by me sell grapes annoyingly labelled "sultana". I was about to go in and point out that sultanas are in fact dried grapes when I googled the matter and found out they were in fact correct. The tiny seedless grapes that I particularly like are known as "sultana grapes".

I'd really like to taste champagne grapes... I wonder if there's anything special about them..?

Doesn't "uva" mean "eggs"..? Oh no it doesn't because I just googled it. How very peculiar.

Hi, Gleds. Well, to add to the confusion I can tell you that sultanas here are known as "uva sultanina". "Uova" means eggs. Yes, I do usually find champagne too dry. The only time I didn't was when a friend once offered me Krugg! I didn't notice what type they were, Patricia. Just the price!
